Eastwood has done a great job of telling the Jewell story from the far-right perspective. The story recalls the destruction of Jewell's life by an aggressive FBI looking for a guilty party assisted by a media that stirred the facts to support a quick arrest and conviction.
Can you say, Rockwell and Bates for Best Supporting? Newcomer Hauser was quite effective playing a Jewell who was borderline special-needs.
All the production values were there and it is a compelling story.
Note: DiCaprio and Jonah Hill were listed as producers. Are they closet righties or just knew it would be a sure thing?
